Default Even Thought It's A Old Story, It's Still Humorous

Let's see, those 200 folks want to secede and stop paying any amenities fees. If there's any bond payments remaining on their houses, they can't avoid that obligation, of course. But what they are saying is that by saving their monthly payment of the $128 amenity fee, they are willing to...

- Forego the use of any of the recreation centers, golf, boccé, pickleball, etc.

- Resign from any of the clubs they might participate in that meet in Villages
facilities.

- Have no complaints when TV maintenance staff stop maintaining the common areas
in their neighborhood, planting seasonal flowers, replacing mulch, etc.

- Not squawk when TV turns out the street lights on their street.

- Form their own volunteer fire department and security force if Lady Lake can't or
won't provide such services to them.

All this for a savings of $128 a month? Were these people NUTS? I can see why this idea has faded into the sunset since the petition was passed in 2006. Maybe they came to their senses.
